Lubricants

1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite productsas someother brands may cause the o'ring toswell and not sealproperly.

2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and o'rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper sealing.

CAUTION

Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.

Turn Camera On

(centered)

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few pictures above water with the camera in the housing.

Lens Port

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.

Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.

The Lens Port will accept (2) Wide-Angle Adapters. The Wide- Angle Adapter #9306.80 which is required to mount the Inon UWL-150AD Bayonet style wide-angle lens. The Wide-Angle Adapter #9306.81 is required to mount the #6420Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Lens and other manufacturers (67mm) screw thread style wide-angle lenses.

These lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle Adapter above or below water as they are designed to have water between the front of the port and the accessory lens. Make sure no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the accessory lens. Any vignetting that occurs can be eliminated by zooming the camera lens slightly. The camera’s built-in flash cannot be used with wide angle

lenses. The front of the lenses are so large they block the camera’s flash. To properly light subjects when using a wide angle lens an external strobe should be used. Due to the wide-angle of coverage of these lenses, the DS125 Substrobe is recommended or two DS51 Substrobes
